Family of jailed Iranian Nobel laureate says prize is a win for 'resistance'

The family of Nobel Peace Prize winner and jailed activist Narges Mohammadi honours the fight against the oppression of women in Iran, many of whom are removing their hijabs despite a harsh crackdown. Mohammadi's award comes after a wave of protests swept Iran following the death in custody a year ago of a young Iranian Kurd, Mahsa Amini, arrested for violating Iran's strict dress rules for women.
